I found a copy at Wal-Mart in their five-dollar bin, but that was a long time ago! Anyway, good luck, and enjoy it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13988042198925974385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8934274044361434025.post-8863086317319885372018-01-14T13:17:06.617-08:002018-01-14T13:17:06.617-08:00I was very surprised by just how much I enjoyed Bl...I was very surprised by just how much I enjoyed Black Beauty!

This kind, noble horse takes a solid grip on your heart and will forever have a home there, once you have read his story. What a charming review!<br /><br />Now, after reading the book, may I recommend the movie? It isn't often that I have the pleasure of recommending a movie based upon a book, and it was with a certain sense of trepidation that I initially approached it; but the movie version was EXTREMELY well-done. Among the movie's cast of actors, you will find the name Sean Bean (Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones), and Black Beauty himself is PERFECTLY narrated by Alan Cumming (whose varied and colorful roles include Nightcrawler in X-Men II). Most horse movies are certifiably cheesy; Black Beauty is decidedly not. Also, they got so many details about horses exactly right — as opposed to suspending reality and causing people who have actually worked with horses to roll their eyes. <br /><br />The Black Beauty movie will evoke a variety of emotions. It will bring a tear to your eye... possibly more than one. It will change you. All the best stories do that. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13988042198925974385noreply@blogger.com
